Financial Services: Powering The Net-zero Economy

Financial institutions have a crucial role to play in combating climate change. At Oliver Wyman, we aim to be the world’s leading consultancy for measuring the impact of climate change and managing its strategic implications for financial services. We understand that modern financial risk management combined with climate science can facilitate a smooth transition to a low-carbon economy. The frameworks that we’ve developed continue to set the standard for the industry. Absent these solutions, climate risk will continue to be mispriced and resources will be misallocated.

Three imperatives for financial services

We can only transition towards a climate-sustainable economy smoothly if the financial industry acts now. We have outlined three imperatives that financial institutions must respond to.
